just passed the exam without 4 years of work experience… i wonder if i could do something first?? for example, ask my 2 sponsors to submit the sponsor statements??? or should i do nothing until i have at least 4 years of work experience???
i found the following from “Membership Types and Requirements”:
*If you have less than 48 months of qualified work experience, you may be considered for affiliate membership.
* If you have at least 48 months of qualified work experience, you may be considered for regular membership (required to receive your CFA charter).
so can i apply for affiliate member first??
 
Yes. Then we you have the experience, you can re-apply / re-submit and your sponsor statements will already be on file, making the charter award happen more quickly.
